Dry Etching & Cleaning

Enhanced Solutions for Dry Etching

As the semiconductor industry continuously expands, dry etching remains a crucial process for manufacturers who need to effectively remove unwanted materials from semiconductor components. Dry etching, an eco-friendly alternative to conventional wet etching, refers to the removal of material, typically a masked pattern of semiconductor material, by exposing the material to a bombardment of ions (usually a plasma of reactive gases) that dislodge portions of the material from the exposed surface. Directed pressure under vacuum conditions allows for optimization by using gas mixtures to create a reaction that affects the wafer surface. Dry etching is a quick process that does not require much operator training.
